Petra – A Wonder of the World
Petra is one of the oldest cities in the world, having been founded in the fourth century B.C. Before 1812, when Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt tricked locals into leading him to the historic remains thought to be the lost city of Petra, it had been virtually forgotten for several decades. Today it is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World and the most visited tourist destination in Jordan. With fewer people traveling than they were two years ago, enjoying Petra has become extra special and worthwhile.
